Eta Sigma Phi is the national honorary
collegiate society for students of Latin and/or Greek. Members are elected
by local chapters which have been chartered by the society. The purposes
of the Society, in the words of the Constitution, are "to develop and
promote interest in classical study among the students of colleges and
universities; to promote closer fraternal relationship among students who
are interested in classical study, including inter-campus relationship; to
engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest in classical study,
and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome."
Note: The
streaming music you hear is "The Song for Eta Sigma Phi."
Here are the lyrics in English and Latin in case you would like to sing along:
Bearing beauty’s flame
ending our hearts to your name
Your ancient splendor we cherish now.
Youthful dreams tell us how.
Students look to your light,
A beauty ever bright.
Our loyalty we pledge to you,
Eta Sigma Phi.
Lumen qui ferimus.
Animos tibi damus.
Antiquum tuum tibi placet.
Hoc spes nostra docet.
Spectant te iuvenes.
O lumen semper des.
Fidem servabimus tibi.
Eta Sigma Phi.
